chevvyG Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I'm curious to hear peoples war stories on love at first sight. Is it possible? What u did about it? Can it ever work out? I guess more importantly why people think it happens. I just recently met a guy and I think I've fallen for him?????? I dont understand why, it doesn't make sense, he's not what I class good looking and I dont know him well enough to be attracted to his personality. Strange huh! Anyway has anyone ever met someone and fallen for them almost instantly? Link to comment
eddie500 Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Honestly, as a guy this happens to me a lot, usually when I speak with an attrative girl and I think she likes me. Usually the conversation has to flow pretty well also.. So to sum it up Attrative girl + she looks like she likes me + good flowing conversation = Fall in love instantly. Link to comment
kskm Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 With my now boyfriend it was instantly. I didn't know who he was, or what he was about and I knew that I was going to be with him. We have been seeing each other for 9 months now... and everything is wonderful. I'm not really sure how or why it happened, but apparently for a reason outside of my hands. Link to comment
darkblue Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 this is interesting as i have been reading up about why we fall for ppl and what attractz us to them and what makes us click and so on but i found that there is scientific evidence to link a man and a woman being attracted to one another through chemicalz we produce.. the major one being pheromones there is another one that isn't fully researched called endorphins.. but there u go lol u learn something new everyday Link to comment
SPark Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Yup, it happens. 16 years and counting. Link to comment
Elfdrinkingtea Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Yeah it happeneded to me once. I didnt' know the girl well but we have the same intereste and hobbies. She was attractive and nice too. Same interestes + attractive + nice conversation = Like that person alot Link to comment
DN Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 The is also love @ first fight. I know a couple who hated each other when they first met and had a fight about politics. Almost shouting at each other. We told them to be quiet (we were all in a pub) and they went outside to continue the argument, then they went to her apartment to continue it. They have been now been married for years - some people think it's because they have never properly finished the argument. Link to comment
blueangel Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 All love is love at first sight. It's chemistry- there's no explaining it. You know how you feel about someone just by being around them... even if only for the first time. Life may be strange but it does seem to work a certain way. (whether or not it works for you is a different story) Any love has the potential to work or not work. As long as it's there in the beginning you have the ability to mold it into something beaufiul. That's right- YOU mold it. It's up to you whether or not something works. Love is not just a feeling. Love is not even fate. It is a choice. But most of all, it is an act. The feeling is not the actual thing. The feeling is the end result. Person+person + time + effort= love Only we can grow a bond. Link to comment
darkblue Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 that's pretty insightful for a 14 year old (no offence intended) just that at 14 you don't expect to fully understand love and the mistery behind it ________________________________________________________ It is only with the heart that we can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye Link to comment
blueangel Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 When being alone most of your life, you find yourself merely the observer. That is what I have become. Link to comment
darkblue Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 with wordz like that i can't believe you are merely the observer lol there's someone for everyone find them and hold on tight lol as for love at first sight.. it has happened to me (the sucker for love i am) but i don't want to think why or how it happenz as i said in a previous post, pheromones and endorphinz may have something to do with it i'm just going to leave it as a mistery of the world tho 8) ________________________________________________________ All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time. Julie Andrews Link to comment
eddie500 Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I got this from someone else. What is love at first site? When two extremely horny people, but not entirely choosy people meet. LOL, It makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Link to comment
Shinobie Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I dont believe in it its never worked for me Link to comment
kskm Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Not completely true. It happened to me when I was least expecting it to.... it always happens like that, when you are looking for someone there seems no one around.. the second you decide it's probably for the better and stop looking is when you get flooding with invitations into someone elses life. I wasn't horny, or not choosy.. I was very choosy. But I can see how this is true for some people. Link to comment
kskm Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Blue Angel; my post was not to you.. it was in responce to Eddies' post. Link to comment
ShySoul Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Love doesn't happen at first sight. You can be attracted to someone at first sight but it takes time for real love to grow. Real love comes after you have gotten to know each other, have seen each other's strengths and weaknesses, have seen each other at your best and your worst. Love at first site is a romantic notion, but unrealistic. Link to comment
SPark Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Well, let`s just say that what "love at first sight" basically means is that you love the other person as much as you know them...and the better you know them, the more you can love them (or NOT, of course, LOL). Link to comment
Kyoshiro Ogari Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Well, love in the true meaning of the word, cannot happen at first sight. That takes time. A heavy duty attraction at first sight that leaves you open to fall in love in the long run, that's more like it. Now, lemee see: Starting from 4th grade, which was my first love at first sight, until this very writing, I've fallen in love at first site approximately 50 times. About a dozen of them turned to serious crushes because I would see them often... A handful of them didn't know I existed... Another handful could care less... And the rest, naturally, had boyfriends. It would be nice if a girl had the same feelings for me, but I don't look good enough to fall in love with at 1st, 2nd or 50th sigh with. Oh well, at least I have my Family Guy DVDs. Whatever. Link to comment

Probably most guys do but they won't admit it. Probably mostly comes down to attraction.. we wouldn't fall in love with a fat-ugly girl even if she had the perect personality. Link to comment

Santa Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 In response to the original question: No. There can be attraction at first site, but you can't read what someones personality is like by seeing them for a split second. Link to comment

I think there have been a few cases - David Niven claimed he fell in love with his second wife at first sight - but the marriage was troubled so that may not count!!! Link to comment
ShySoul Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Jenifer, Well, let`s just say that what "love at first sight" basically means is that you love the other person as much as you know them...and the better you know them, the more you can love them (or NOT, of course, LOL). If love at first sight means you love the person as much as you know them, and you don't know anything about them since all you've done is looked at them, then wouldn't that mean you don't love them at all?

Actually I disagree. When humans meet other humans we take in immideatly many facets about who that person is. Thousands of little things.. we can sum up instantly the persons personality etc. Everything from the way the person carries himself, to the way he/she dresses. I always noticed that immideatley when I look at someone I can always tell what that person is like etc (personality). And I'm usually right. So we all do this, we evolved this way. Link to comment
